Human Metabolic Gene CRISPRa sgRNA Library
(Pooled Library #187080)

  • Purpose

    This lentiviral CRISPRa library targets 2,989 human metabolic genes for activation of gene expression.

  • Vector Backbone

    lentiGuide-Puro - does not express Cas9

Ordering

Item Catalog # Description Quantity Price (USD)
Pooled Library 187080 Human Metabolic Gene CRISPRa sgRNA Library 1 Pending
Available to Academic and Nonprofits Only
  • A Cas9 plasmid is NOT included with this item and will have to be ordered separately. The depositing lab suggests using a CRISPRa dCas9-VPR vector with an hEF1a promoter from Horizon Discovery, catalog number CAS11916.
